I want Pitt in the Big Ten, but I think their best fit is the ACC. Everyones been saying that the Big Ten doesn't want them anyway because they dont add a tv market.

There have at least been talks with them for the Big Ten, so we'll see. It does depend on what the Pac-10 does. If they go to 16, the Big Ten may look to follow and out of the Big East teams, Pitt has to be a Top four choice.

being a uconn guy i am more concerned with the implications of losing the big east basketball tradition. would prefer to have a couple more big east bball powers going to the acc if thats where we're headed.

Mountain West has it's eyes on KU, KSU, and Missouri. Adding two of those three teams would be incredible for the conference as a whole especially for basketball.

WTF, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I can see how that would be good for the conference with the recognition but if KU and Mizzou joined lets say.. that would be terrible, every year Self would have a conference title at least try and bring in another big time program to compete. Dumb Dumb Dumb.

TCU released a statement late Saturday from athletic director Chris Del Conte refuting a newspaper report Saturday in which sources said TCU would attempt to block Baylor from a possible move to the Mountain West Conference. Here's the statement:

"Contrary to a published report, TCU would not lobby against another institution possibly seeking membership in the Mountain West Conference. TCU would support any addition our Mountain West Conference partners believe strengthens our league. The Mountain West Conference is a great home to TCU and we are excited about what the future holds for our league."

Looks like the rumor is that the 5 Big Twelve teams that may be left out of the Pac 10 are looking to reconstruct the Big 12 due to the new TV deal. Some candidates include, TCU, BYU, Utah, and Air Force.

But then again why not just all join the MWC? It would basically end up as the same confrence unless Baylor is excluded because of bad blood between TCU and Baylor?

Yeah interesting thought since the Big East/ACC haven't got much attention/haven't made a move yet. Being a UNC guy anybody from the Big East can join the ACC without me having a problem. For basketball it would be great and for football it wouldn't make that big of an impact.

If I got to pick the 5 teams to get to 16 it would have been Nebraska, Missouri, Notre Dame, Pitt, and either Rutgers, Maryland, or Kansas.

The Mountain West just doesn't want Iowa State and Baylor. Adding Mizzou, KSU, and Kansas really increases the prestige of the conference and would legitimize it, Baylor and ISU do not. I can easily see those two schools going to C-USA which would boost that conference up to 14 teams.

You misread. Baylor and Iowa State would be part of a reformed Big XII.

They have a big incentive. Until action is taken to change it, the Big XII is still a BCS league. TCU would grab a chance to join with both hands, which gives them a foot in the Dallas/Ft Worth TV market. They could pull in some teams from the MWC, or ones they have eyed, such as BYU, Utah and USAFA. I can see this happening very easily.

Each Conference shall have 2 divisions, the winner of the two divisions shall play. Then in a rotation the winners of the Pac/Big/SEC/ACC will play and for the National Championship Game, the winners of those games will face off

Why would Notre Dame join the ACC/Big East in football when the money they're offering and academic standing they are offering are both lower and the Big East is stupid enough to let them have all of their sports save football in there already?
